Several outlets in April 2026 reported that Ladarius Alexander (35) faced murder charges in Franklin County related to a March 25 fatal shooting at an after-hours club on Lockbourne Road. The case centers on a dispute over tobacco (a “black and mild”) and witnesses described Alexander as the shooter, though initial police statements at one point indicated he was no longer a person of interest [source summaries from April 9–10, 2026]. This latest reporting suggests prosecutors filed murder charges and he was booked into Franklin County Jail, indicating a significant development in the case [summary: WSYX/ABC affiliates reporting on court documents; multiple outlets echoed the same sequence of events].
